Below
are things
I've found useful.
How to randomly assign participants
to multiple
survey links.
First, make sure each condition is a separate surveymonkey survey with its own link.
Second, you will need to make a main website that all participants will start on. I use my website (the one you are on right now) that my university provides for me, but any old website that you can edit will do.
Last, just copy and paste the info below into the html source code of the website that will act as the main one.
<script type="text/javascript">
function randomlinks(){
var myrandom=Math.round(Math.random()*9)
var links=new Array()
links[0]="http://www.javascriptkit.com"
links[1]="http://www.dynamicdrive.com"
links[2]="http://www.cssdrive.com"
links[3]="http://www.codingforums.com"
links[4]="http://www.news.com"
links[5]="http://www.gamespot.com"
links[6]="http://www.msnbc.com"
links[7]="http://www.cnn.com"
links[8]="http://news.bbc.co.uk"
links[9]="http://www.news.com.au"
window.location=links[myrandom]
}
</script>
<form>
<input type="button" value="random link!" onClick="randomlinks()">
</form>
Change the links above (e.g., www.news.com) to your surveymonkey links. Make sure each surveymonkey link is a different condition. You probably won't have 10 different conditions, so adjust the script above so that it fits your needs.
Here is a simple example I made using a very similar script, for those who want to see this in action. Feel free to modify it as you see fit. (right mouse click the Download link and select Save Link As to open and edit it in your editor--seamonkey is a free one) Download
How to combine multiple .csv
files into one file (useful when each file
represents a single participant).
Step 2) In Windows 7, open the command prompt (click "start" then search for cmd.exe or simply cmd)
Step 3) After you open the command prompt, navigate to the folder that contains the files using the "cd" command (e.g., if your files are in the c:\data\ folder, type in cd c:\data )
Step 4) Once you are in the folder that contains the files you want combined,
type in copy *.csv name.csv.
You can substitute name for whatever you want your new file to be called
And that's it!
